FWIW I am now having pretty serious problems with calls being dropped 
that seems to be affecting things across the board--IAX2 and SIP, Zaptel 
devices and ATAs, servers behind NAT as well as servers with public IPs.

Pretty much every call gets dropped eventually, although of course since 
some of them turn out to be short by nature the effect isn't noticed so 
much on shorter calls.

In the last week or two, though, many more calls are dropping in their 
first minutes, both incoming and outgoing.

It has been a challenge, since I decided to try to use asterisk as my 
sole means of telephony as proof of concept, as it were . . .
